Well iv'e been meaning to do this for a while and also thought i would clean up the motor while i was there too. Unfortunately i don't have any pictures of the motor before clean up.

At least i can now use this without worrying about it going pop :D

Suppressor removal

Whilst removing the suppressor won't have any immediate ill effects (apart from probably generating LOADS of radio interference), you can expect more arcing at the brushes, with consequently faster brush wear, and more commutator burning. Keep an eye on it ;)

All best

Ah it doesn't matter about the radio interference (Well for me at least lol) i dont vacuum with the radio or TV on anyway.


I won't be using this much anyway (would rather use a Turbopower 1 :P )

Most likely just use it once or twice and then back onto display she goes
